Apr. 16, 2008 Signed By Governor
Governor Sanford signed H. 3528 into law.
The Senate concurred with the House amendment to H. 3528 and sent the bill to the Governor for his signature.
The House amended the Senate's version of H. 3528 and returned it to the Senate. The Senate version would have required SLED to publish names of former CWP holders who simply chose to give up their permit for various reasons, yet were not prohibited from possessing a firearm. The House version corrected this error, permitting the release of names of persons who no longer possessed a CWP permit only if they were now a prohibited person under Section 23-31-215(J)(1).
The Senate Judiciary Committee met to discuss H. 3528. GrassRoots was there to monitor the debate. The bill was amended to require SLED to produce annual CWP statistics including the number of total permits out, number of permits renewed, number of permits applied for, number of permit applications approved, number of permit applications denied, number of permits revoked/suspended. H. 3528 was also amended to require anyone who has already obtained a CWP list from SLED to destroy it once this bill becomes law. The bill was unanimously voted "favorable with amendment" and sent to the full Senate.
GrassRoots leaders attended a meeting of the full House Judiciary committee to support H.3528. GrassRoots faxed this letter to each member of the House Judiciary committee.
Spoke at House Judiciary General Laws Subcommittee in favor of H.3528. GrassRoots faxed this letter to the members of the House Judiciary General Laws Subcommittee. Subcommittee voted unanimously to send the bill back to the full Judiciary Committee with a favorable report.
